What is the relation between temperature and rate of reaction?

Increasing the temperature increases reaction rates because of the disproportionately large increase in the number of high energy collisions. It is only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction) which result in a reaction

Explanation:

When we increase the temperature of one of the reactants in a chemical reaction, this increases the particles kinetic energy, making them move much faster than they were before. This also increases the chance of a more successful collision and the rate of reaction.
